Samara Joy's Verve Debut on Vinyl LP.

2023 Grammy Award Nominee:
• Best New Artist: Samara Joy
• Best Jazz Vocal Album: Linger Awhile

Simply put, Samara Joy is next. Her Verve debut shows that, at just 22 years old, with a voice, tone, and phrasing that harkens back to the most iconic jazz vocalists of all time, Samara belongs in the company of iconic label mates from Ella Fitzgerald to Sarah Vaughan to Billie Holiday. Samara is remarkably savvy on TikTok and Instagram, fostering a community of devoted followers fully through organic means. She is poised to be a household name, synonymous with timeless jazz music.

    Joy's primary aim in making this beauty was to further perfect her poetic vocals on songs that have deepened with time. There is much to be admired on Linger Awhile.
